Preschool Graduation.

I LOVE the preschool Reagan has attended for the past two years!  Before Reagan turned 3, my original plan had been to do a Joy School with some of the other neighborhood Moms.  Then, SURPRISE! I found out Cohen was coming along, and I knew there was no way I could teach Joy School.

I took to the Internet, looking at nearby preschools.   I really wanted to physically visit some of the preschools I had found; but it wasn't going to be possible.

I took a leap of faith, and signed Reagan up for the very first preschool I looked at: Start Smart.  Boy, did I get lucky!  It has been exactly what Reagan needed.  Her teacher, Jolynne Porter, is a talented woman; and has helped Reagan immensely.  I will be sending both Elsa, and Cohen to Start Smart.

Here are some pictures of Reagan at preschool this year:

And before I knew it...  Preschool Graduation! 
Reagan gave Nick a sneak-attack kiss after the program.

She posed with a lot of people.  Cohen came with us.  Elsa went next door to have a playdate.  Sidenote: we recently got new neighbors next door, and I love having them there!  It's a family we already knew, and they have young kids!  In fact, the Mom was my visiting teacher for the first 3 years that we lived in Fruit Heights, Wendi is the greatest!

Brian and Jenny came.  Brian was a little late because his motorcycle ran out of gas on the way to the graduation.

Reagan was supposed to introduce herself, and tell the audience what her favorite thing about preschool was.  Reagan said, "Hi.  My name is Reagan, and I love going to California".  She has California on the brain!  We're going there in two weeks to meet up with her Best Friend, Lily, and her family.

Reagan got her diploma.

And now it's off to Kindergarten, in the fall.  I took her to Kindergarten round-up, at the elementary school.  She had a great time.  I got a picture of her with two girls from the neighborhood.  I wish I would have captured a picture of her with Evia, the gal she spends most time with!

I know it has been said before, by many parents.... But I am shocked at how quickly the time has gone!  I feel like the start of Kindergarten officially ends the years of Reagan being "all mine, all the time".  I'm having a hard time letting go.  It isn't easy having all 3 of my kids with me 24-7, but most of the time I really like it.
